I hadn't looked twice at it on the website, you brought it to life.  I truly think it will be a workhorse.  It's kind of the EF drape neck dress, but for winter.

I thought I commented on this. What happened? I must not have pressed the send button. Anyway, it was a long song about how fantastic you look in "our" dress and how I am not suprised you cut those tags. This is a terrific week of outfits and  you did better than I did in meeting Una's challenge, that's for sure!  Elizabeth P on "The Una Challenge: Week 2." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-una-challenge-week-2#post-1403675 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 22:34:37 +0000 Elizabeth P 1403675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shameless bump for those recovering/returning from turkey and Black Friday shopping overload...

I wasn't quite sure about that one.  At least, I wasn't quite sure about it once I saw the photograph... when I downloaded the pics a day or two after I wore it, I thought/hoped  it had looked better IRL.  So maybe it was better than I thought jackiec on "The Una Challenge: Week 2." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-una-challenge-week-2#post-1403294 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 05:00:43 +0000 jackiec 1403294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow Elizabeth SO well done! I love the culottes outfit with the layers. What a fab sweater, and you look so good in the dark pink - I'd keep playing with that!!! I am so happy to see you in Suz' PJ dress - what a great name! It looks spectacular on you too!! Sounds super comfy. I really like all of your outfits - you are getting soooo good at putting together what works for you. Love the use of colours.

I especially love the lines and color in #6. Off to see if I can find that dress on the br website! Elizabeth P on "The Una Challenge: Week 2." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-una-challenge-week-2#post-1403267 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 23:34:25 +0000 Elizabeth P 1403267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So, week 2 of my "Una challenge" to try and force myself to think a bit more about what I am going to wear, and mix things up more.  The criteria I need to hit are the following...need to get all of these, with overlap allowed: 1. The FFBO… comfortable dress trousers and a sweater. 2. Long/oversized over lean (a silhouette which is good on me, and I need to play with more) 3. Colour 4. Pants that are either coloured or patterned (way too easy for me to wear black or navy every day) 5. A skirt or a dress 6. A wildcard or pushing the envelope a bit. This would include copying an inspiration, or one of Angies styling recommendations   And what I wore: #1. Long/oversized over lean.  Wore this to my dinner club… great outfit for eating in J.  EF tunic, VC leggings #2. More long/oversized over lean.  #3.  Colour and trying new styling ideas… still trying to figure out the layering thing. #4.  Yet more colour and layering, plus my culottes wildcard.  This is a blatant copy of  N-Marie’s post a couple of weeks ago, shown here: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-statement-sweater" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....nt-sweater</a> #5.  A dress #6.  Another dress.  This is the BR Suz PJ dress… I ordered it “just to see”.  Well, I don’t think I’ve ever torn tags off an item of clothing so quickly.  This dress is AMAZING.  Wore it out to dinner for a meet up with L’Abeille. #7.  Patterned pants.  The new Gap black/denim plaid skinnies… I kept the long ones. So, the only outfit I didn’t try was the FFBO!  This is a GOOD thing.  And yes,  the challenge again forced me to plan a bit more than normal, and directed what I wore on Friday. I’m also sensing a bit of a theme here… I seem to be gravitating towards dark pink this season.  I hope it works on me.  Actually, I can't believe I went a whole week with no cobalt! As always, I'd love any suggestions you have re styling. Happy Black Friday! (Still holding tough here, but not totally sure I'm going to last the night)
